Addressing the event, National Assembly Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan
said the Party, State and people always bear in mind the significant
contributions of millions of people who have sacrificed their lives and
rendered services for national independence and reunification.
She noted that the gratitude has been demonstrated through frequent and
nationwide activities caring for war invalids, martyrs, revolution
contributors and their families. Preferential treatment policies to the
group have been updated in line with the nation’s socio-economic
conditions, she added.
The top legislator stated the Party and State are determined to let no
revolution contributors forgotten from such treatment. She said the
Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs has been assigned to
review and identify contributors who have yet to be recognized,
particularly due to the loss of related documents.
Over the past three years, the ministry has certified nearly 2,000 martyrs and over 2,600 invalids.
Ngan requested the ministry to continue doing its mission and promptly update the outcomes to martyrs’ families.
She also recommended the ministry focus on amending and supplementing
the ordinance on preferential treatment policies for revolution
contributors.
The official took the occasion to wish invalids, families of martyrs, and revolution contributors good health and happiness.
Earlier the same day, the NA leader, Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam,
and Minister of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs Dao Ngoc Dung joined
local authorities in offering incence and lay wreathes at the Vinh Long
martyrs’ cemetery.
